About
On this day, it was announced to the press that the Beatles had agreed to the making of a full-length animated film, to be called “Yellow Submarine” after their song of 1966.
The Beatles are very, very enthusiastic about the new animated film Yellow Submarine. They have been calling us at all times with ideas. We have even had discussions at two o’clock in the morning! Their suggestions are very good. So far, all The Beatles ideas are being incorporated into the movie.
Al Brodax – American producer – From “The Beatles: Off the Record” by Keith Badman, 2008
You know what Al Brodax used to do? Brodax got half the Yellow Submarine out of my mouth! You know the idea for the hoover? The machine that sucks people up? All those were my ideas! They used to come to the studio and, sort of, chat, ‘Hi, John, old bean. Got any ideas for the film?’ And I’d just spout out all this stuff, and they went off and did it, you know.

The boys didn’t think it was a good idea at all! The idea of being portrayed in cartoon form was basically abhorrence to them, particularly when the guy who was doing it, the only track record they could think of to what he had done was The Flintstones!
